This ripe wine has some serious tannins and rich black fruits. Behind the structure, a swath of black fruits gives the wine concentration and ripeness. Drink this textured wine from 2027.

2020 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2023
Red pit fruits, flowers, cedar, and plums with a touch of tobacco leaf, and create the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, vibrant, soft, and energetic with an air of elegance, refinement, and silky textures which feel great on the mid-palate, and in the finish. This is the debut vintage produced in their new cellars which helped shape the wine as it allowed the team to vinify for the first time on a parcel-by-parcel basis. Drink from 2024-2045.
About Winery
Château Duhart Milon
Bordeaux, France
Château Duhart-Milon, one of Pauillac's oldest and most prestigious vineyards, began its history in the 13th century when it was known as "Latour-du-Haut-Milon." In 1592, the fate of the property changed with its acquisition by Arnaud Duhart, a Bordeaux merchant, giving rise to the current name.
In the 18th century, the Brane family managed the château for over a century, and it was during this time that Château Duhart-Milon's wine gained global prominence. The consecration came in 1855 when it was classified as "Premier Cru Classé" during the Bordeaux wine classification.
In 1920, the Rothschild family took over management, maintaining a commitment to producing high-quality wines to this day. Its extensive vineyard of 188 hectares is cultivated with Cabernet Sauvignon (67%) and Merlot (33%).
The exceptional terroir of Château Duhart-Milon, with gravel, sand, limestone, and clay soils and an average vine age of 30 years, provides the foundation for extraordinary wines.
